Case report of a paraganglioma arising from a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary
2020
Abstract Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms derived from sympathetic or parasympathetic paraganglia and have the ability to secrete catecholamines. We present the case of a 37-year-old asymptomatic female who underwent right ovarian cystectomy for a mature cystic teratoma and was found to have an intra-tumoral paraganglioma. More research is needed to determine metastatic potential as well as the likelihood of recurrence of these unique neoplasms.
